Reminder of that time the US military wanted a cheap air launched anti tank missile so they made a nearly fucking mach 5 steel rod with a rocket engine strapped to it. Imagine you’re just vibing in your tank then all of a sudden a steel rod cleaves through your tank and then liquifies you at 4.5x the speed of sound.
Or y'know, the obligatory Project Star Wars. Or the British idea of 10-kiloton Nuclear Landmines.
Or Project Orion.
The Cold War was WACK.
